Sandstone Valley Area 3 Off Leash Area Overview
Sandstone Valley Area 3 is a 3.5-acre, partially fenced off-leash site at 109 Sandpiper Pl NW, one of three official off-leash designations within the Sandstone Valley community. It holds a solid 4.6-star local rating.
The partial fencing here sets it apart from the community's other two off-leash sites — it offers more containment than a fully open field while still preserving a natural, unmanicured feel. At 3.5 acres, it's a mid-sized site, comfortable for both solo dog walks and small group play.
Like Areas 1 and 2 in the same community, this site serves primarily as a neighborhood resource for Sandstone Valley residents on the Sandpiper Pl side of the community.
